John Felix Anthony Cena started out chasing a bodybuilding dream before stepping into the wrestling ring in 1999. By 2002, he was already a fan favourite on WWE’s SmackDown, spitting rhymes as a rapper-turned-hero who would go on to define an entire wrestling era. A WWE legend and Hollywood star, John Cena, just dropped a life lesson that's both simple and powerful. Taking to X, Cena shared what he called his ultimate secret to success in just 10 words: “Put effort into your dreams… You never know how far a little hustle can take you.”

The post quickly went viral, resonating with fans who see him as more than just a wrestling icon. From wrestling arenas to blockbuster films, Cena’s journey proves that success isn’t about luck or shortcuts—it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and believing that effort compounds over time.

John Cena's work
Over two decades later, Cena holds a record-breaking 17 world championships, has headlined WrestleMania six times, and remains one of the most recognisable names in sports entertainment. But he didn’t stop there. He also delivered action-packed hits like The Marine and F9 to his hilarious turn in Blockers and DC’s Peacemaker.



His last WWE match
John Cena is set to play his last WWE match on December 13, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington DC. The Capital One Arena will host what’s expected to be an emotional farewell, marking the end of his legendary run that includes 17 world championships, five U.S. titles, and two Royal Rumble wins.

This year, Cena’s farewell tour has been nothing short of cinematic—runner-up at Royal Rumble, a dramatic win at Elimination Chamber, and a history-making 17th title after defeating Cody Rhodes. He later faced off with legends like Randy Orton and CM Punk, before dropping the belt back to Rhodes at SummerSlam. His final lap even saw bouts with Logan Paul and Brock Lesnar. Up next, he’ll face AJ Styles one last time in Perth—before the icon finally waves goodbye to the wrestling ring.
